I Don’t Work For Free – Do You Work For Free?

I need to vent.
We, as Independent Artists, don’t like to stir the pot when it comes to our pay cheques and many are afraid to “bite the hand that feeds them” but I no longer care about that.  I’m putting this out there because I feel it needs to be said and to any FUTURE [...]

The Things My Kookum Taught Me: Patience

In my comedy and moreover, in my life, I always think to myself, “What would Kookum (grandma) think?”  It’s a bit of a weird thing.  It’s not something I did when she was with us on earth – but now that she’s playing “Bingo in the Sky” I’m always checking in with that thought.
The other [...]

Canada’s Aboriginal Peoples & The Vancouver 2010 Olympics – Unprecedented Inclusion?

First of all – I’m a comedian.  Do NOT read this for an academic take on the socio-political impacts of the blah blah blah – cuz I can’t do that/write that/say that for I am far too “unlearned” to fake it.  So, I won’t.  With that said, here’s my take on what’s shaking out with [...]

Working on New Material – A Comics Worst Nightmare

As a comedian – we perform our “acts” as our bread and butter.  When I’m being paid good money for a gig – I go to my “act” because it’s tried, tested and true – the jokes, generally, work.  My act has a story arc, alot of characters, re-occurring themes, etc. and it’s built to [...]

XMAS LAUGHS WITH RYAN MCMAHON

Have jokes – will travel.  That’s the message that I’m spreading right now around Indian Country.  Last year, I was booked fairly solid in and around Christmas time – that’s when staff parties and community events get thrown to welcome the holidays with a little bit of laughter.  What was unmanageable though were the last [...]

Hey Indian Country – Here I Come!

I make no secret about my goal of breaking into Indian Country down in the US to spread the good work of my comedy.  I’m doing well in Canada (in relative terms anyway), but, I’ve not yet broken into the market down in the States.  I want to – badly.  I have a decent following [...]
